I have no idea where this plugs in. Any possibility you can find where this goes? It has three wires. It is close to the throttle body area

Hi,

Based on the wire colors, it appears to connect to the intake camshaft position sensor on the rear of the engine.

I attached a pic from the wiring schematic. (See pic below) Locate the camshaft position sensor and see if anything is connected to it.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
